Although at times this B-movie can be a bit rough around the edges, an interesting plot more than makes up for any short comings.
Dr Walcott (Hooper Atchley) meets his friend Cornish (William 'Stage' Boyd), the detective, at his hotel. Cornish tells him he has found something unusual in the hotel room fire place... a human ear bone! Then Walcott is shot by a sniper from outside the hotel (luckily just a glancing wound). Cornish and Walcott begin to investigate what is going on, the hotel management curiously seem to pooh-pooh the shooting.
A young woman called Enid (Claudia Dell) is spotted at the house where the sniper was located. She was a former guest of the hotel but involved in a strange case where her brother went missing, the hotel management then acting like they didn't know her or that her brother had ever been there. The management are up to no good for sure, and kidnap Enid and lock her in a morgue...
Although the acting and staging is a little patchy at times and the pacing can be a bit slow, it doesn't really matter too much as the plot is really rather interesting and unusual. Quite why is a random sniper shooting at guests in the hotel? Where did Enid's brother go? The answer is pretty surprising.
